Surf Report for Jacksonville Florida
Good morning, this is your Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia surf zone forecast for Monday, May 4th through Friday, May 8th, 2026. Let's start with today. If you're thinking about heading to the beach, you're looking at three to four foot surf along the Northeast Florida coast, with conditions a bit smaller around two feet down in Southeast Georgia. A moderate risk of rip currents is in effect, so keep that in mind if you're planning to get in the water. The morning will be mostly sunny, becoming partly cloudy this afternoon. Temperatures will climb into the mid to upper 70s, and while there's no thunderstorm threat today, grab your sunscreen because the UV index is very high. Northeast winds will start at 10 to 15 miles per hour this morning, shifting to easterly winds around 15 miles per hour this afternoon. Water temperatures are sitting in the low to mid 70s along Northeast Florida and the lower 70s down toward Georgia. For high tides today, Jacksonville Beach peaks at 10:31 in the morning, with St. Augustine Beach following at 10:41. If you're heading north, Fernandina Beach gets its high tide at 11:18 AM, and down in Georgia, St. Simons Island reaches high tide at 10:45. Moving into Tuesday, conditions remain very similar with the same moderate rip current risk still in place. Surf heights stay at three to four feet for Northeast Florida and hold steady around two feet in Southeast Georgia. Another mostly sunny morning will give way to partly cloudy skies by afternoon. Temperatures creep up slightly to near 80 degrees, and the winds will be lighter to start, five to ten miles per hour from the southeast, but pick up to around 15 miles per hour by the afternoon. No thunderstorms expected Tuesday either. Now for the extended outlook. Wednesday shapes up to be a beautiful beach day with mostly sunny skies and higher temperatures climbing into the mid 80s. Surf heights drop to two to three feet, and the slight south winds will shift southeast around 15 miles per hour in the afternoon. Thursday brings mostly sunny skies along the Georgia coast and mid to upper 80s for Northeast Florida. There's a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms Thursday, with highs in the upper 80s for Florida and around 90 in Georgia. Surf continues to drop to one to two feet as southwest winds blow at 10 to 15 miles per hour. Finishing out your extended period, Friday looks wetter with mostly cloudy skies and a good chance of showers. A slight chance of thunderstorms is in the mix as well. It'll be notably cooler than Thursday, with highs dropping back to the upper 70s. North winds around 10 miles per hour will be the story, and surf heights remain at one to two feet. If you're a rip current novice, remember that these currents are narrow channels of fast moving water flowing away from shore. If you find yourself caught in one, don't panic and don't fight it. Swim parallel to shore until you escape the current, then swim back to land. That's your seven This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.
